Formulas

Hello all, I am stumped. I am trying to combine data from two multiple select fields, into one. For the sake of confidentiality, I have created an example of what I am working with, using part of the Greek alphabet instead of the actual data: The goal is to combine these two columns into a third that looks and behaves exactly the same as the first two, simply with the data from both combined, into one. As easy as this feels like it should be, every single option I’ve seen either turns the output into text strings (which renders it useless for our tracking purposes), or else it requires a great deal of manually typing or copy-pasting the individual options of the multiple select, into the formula, one by one. It should be noted that while I have only used four Greek letters here, the actual number of entries we are working with is well over 600, and with far lo

Hi I have a formulaDATEADD({Kick off},{Time Estimate (Fibonacci Minutes)},"minutes") Whereby {Kick off} is an date field set to ISO and 24 hour time{Time Estimate (Fibonacci Minutes)} is a drop down with a Fibonacci sequenceI want the DATEADD formula above to return the expected job completion date and time so that I can feed it straight into my calendar. Weirdly, it's an hour out.For eg a kick off date of  2023-05-10 00:01 with a fibonacci of 21 returns 2023-05-09 23:22, when it should be 2023-05-10 00:22.Any ideas? 

Hi all,I'm using Airtable to plan and track renovation and landscaping tasks. I have a table that has one field (text) for tasks and a 'prerequisites' field that is linked to the tasks field. This shows me other tasks that need to be done first. I am trying to create a formula that will show me whether the task at hand is a prerequisite task for any others.I tried  IF(FIND(Task, Prerequisite), "Yes", "No")  but that (kind of obviously) always return "No" because a task is never a prerequisite of itself.How can I get it to identify if the a task is a prerequisite for any other task?Alternatively, is it possible yet to automatically produce a field for the link in the opposite direction when records are linked within the same table?Thanks!

I am using a date and time field that shows in ET- i.e 9/22/2023 11:00am. It was showing up in a weird way in automations, so i followed a formula that i saw in a pervious post to format it -DATETIME_FORMAT({Launch Date & Time},'M/D/YYYY \\at h:mma') - but then for some reason it's showing is as "9/22/2023 at 4:00pm". I obviously want it to show as "9/22/2023 at 11:00am"- What am i doing wrong?

Hi everyone,I'm trying to create a formula field that pulls either one of two dates (depending on which one is the earliest) or gives "Pending Date" if both columns are empty. I've tried several different formulas and have gotten close, but I can't get the formula to fill in "pending date" still -- it always gives me #ERROR. Here are two formulas I have tried: IF(IS_BEFORE({Date 1}, {Date 2}), DATETIME_FORMAT({Date 1}, 'YYYY'),IF({Date 1}=BLANK(), DATETIME_FORMAT({Date 2}, "YYYY", "Pending Date")))and  I

Hello Everyone!Can someone help me troubleshoot why using IF formula with arguments containing field values with decimal points return errors? All the fields are in currency format with precision of 1.00 except one with duration type field in seconds and in decimal format. Here's my formula and there's at least 4 different results to expect (FULLY-PAID, PARTIALLY-PAID, OVER-PAID, NO PAYMENT and N/A if all 4 logical arguments are false. Below is my formula.  IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}=0,"NO PAYMENT",IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}<{Total Amount Due (ToDate)},"PARTIALLY-PAID",IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}=

Hoping for some help! I have a column with a date in, and two other columns, one with a start date and one with an end date, I want to do a conditional / IF rollup that brings me through a value if the date in question falls between the start date and end date in my other columns grateful for any help!

I’m brand new to Airtable and getting to grips with it all so forgive me if this is a simple and stupid question. I’ve got a table logging expenses by two people. I’m using a currency field to add the amounts spent by each person. Now I want a second table that shows the overall funds both people start out with and then a field that shows the current funds available which updates according to the expenses logged in the expenses table. Can someone explain to me how to do that? I don’t even know what sort of keywords to look for in the help sections. Thank you so much for any help! Anna

Hello,I need to sum the two smallest values between three values.Example:- Value 1: 10- Value 2: 20- Value 3: 30The two smallest values are "Value 1" and "Value 2".How to do this via a formula (or other

Hello all,I currently am trying to create a formula in which I calculate days since last contact, with some of the source cells either being blank or having "N/A" as a value. I plan to make cells either all blank or "N/A" if the person hasnt been contacted. what I am trying to do is have a tonow(date of last contact) formula in which if the cell is blank or N/A it states "N/A" instead of "invalid date".Thanks!

Hi there!I'm wondering if there's a way I can add a distinction for fields that have the same data. For example, there's two entries that are on the same date (09-22-2023). I have been trying to find out a way to somehow, say, put 09-22-2023a and then 09-22-2023b so I know which one is entered first and so on.I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! 🙂In one table, i got Name + Surname + Email AddressIn another table, i only got Email Address, but i need to fill in the Name + Surname that i have in the other table.How could i do this?Thanks a lotMarco

I cannot decide if I'm better off with an automation or else I'm just not meant to do if else formulas. I need to first check if a date field is not blank. If it is not blank, then I want to compare it with another date field. If it's later than other date field I want to show 'launch date moved out'. I know this formula is not comparing but it's what I ended up with (and it's not working)IF({Original Launch Date} & "-"THEN {Launch Date}>{Original Launch Date},'Launch Delayed') 

Using the "created_at" field, I need a new date field (due_date) that takes created_at and adds x number of days. It's easy to do this with a formula field, and I have that set up already.However, I also need the flexibility of being able to manually overwrite the due_date if necessary. Forumla fields can not be edited. How can I benefit from the efficiency of auto-calculating a due date + the flexibility of manually adjusting if necessary?Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to make a formula that combines different records to a readable title.I'd like to add the Product field to the formula, but only if it has not more than one value and only if the value is not 'Algemeen'. The last part I can fix, but I need some help with the check for the amount of values. The current formula combines 5 fields, with only a check for the Product field. Any help for the extra check is appreciated. {Team} & "-" & {ID} & " | " & IF({Product} != 'Algemeen', {Product} & " | ", "") & {Section} & " | " & {Name}  

Hello below is a table of scores and the corresponding status.

Hi,I am trying to create a simple IF Statement to produce the result PASS or FAIL if the value in another column is >= 80%:  In Column 1 ('% germination rate on second check') are % figures with values ranging from 0% to 100%. The purpose of the Column 2 ('PASS/FAIL'), is to produce the word 'PASS' if the value of Column 1 is >= 80%, or 'FAIL' if otherwise. Currently all cells in Column 2 are showing 'FAIL', irrespective of the % figure showing in Column 1. Is this some kind of syntax or formatting error on my end? Here is my formula: IF({% germination rate on second check} >= 80, "PASS", "FAIL")Thanks for the help! 🙂

Hi,To explain a bit : We have workshops that happen on different dates and people can register to those in a form.So I created a formula with the name of the workshop + the date of the workshop. I want that, in the form, people can only chose on date at the time. Now they can register for multiple dates and it creates complicate data for confirmation emails and reminders.So I was thinking that if the formula (Name + date) was a single select, they could only register at one but if there is another way, I take any advices 🙂Can anyone help me? 

I am using a mid formula to extract a string of text. The string appears as expected in the cell, but when Make (Integromat) runs the search it is adding an extra space before the string. " <string>" If the empty space is present, wouldn't I see it in the cell?I have checked over an over again to verify there is no extra space in the formula in Make. I have also changed my formula to +2, +2.Variations of this MID formula works with other use cases, this is the only one inserting an extra space. Is there a better way to do this? MID( {Summary}, FIND( ':', {Summary} )+1, FIND( ',', {Summary}, FIND( ':', {Summary} ) )-(FIND( ':', {Summary} )+1) )  

Requesting some guidance here. I'm new to Airtable and have read some documentation but have not fund any examples similar to my use case. I have a single select data field that I need to convert each selection items to a numeric value that can then be leveraged in a calculated field that will score an item in the table.How can this be done in Airtable?

I have 5 fields (WBS1, WBS2, WBS3, WBS4, WBS5) which are all different levels of WBS and I have a formula that combines it all into 1 number: WBS1& IF(WBS2="","","."&WBS2 & IF(WBS3="","", "."&WBS3 &IF(WBS4="","","."&WBS4 &IF(WBS5="","","."&

Hello, all.I'm new to Airtable and I need to create a form that tracks how many hours my coaching team is meeting with individuals each month. Each entry would be a new meeting, and I meet with individuals only once each month. Ideally, it would all exist on a single table. Each row would need to have the following information: Individual's name, date, duration, coach, Notes. Ideally, I would have another column that sums the month's hours as I go, call it "Hours this month".I assume there should be a formula that can do that for me, but I haven't for the life of me been able to utilize my Excel knowledge to create a working formula for AT.Any recommendations or alternatives to how I can approach this?

Hi folks,I'm have a dataset of events in Airtable with each event as a row, and each row has a different number of sessions that can make up the complete event. This means I have 8 end date & time columns to capture the finish time of each session. I need a column that will dynamically show the end date & time of the whole event, regardless of the number of sessions so that I can use this in various calendar/timeline views in Airtable.I've attempted to pull them all into an IF statement, like this:IF({Session 8 end time},DATETIME_FORMAT({Session 8 end time},'DD/MM/YY h:mm A'),IF({Session 7 end time},DATETIME_FORMAT({Session 7 end time},'DD/MM/YY h:mm A'),IF({Session 6 end time},DATETIME_FORMAT({Session 6 end time},'DD/MM/YY h:mm A'),IF({Session 5 end&n
